Raquel & Jim ~ 9/10/2010

Raquel and Jim’s Italian theme was brought to life here at Villa Siena on September 10th, 2010. The couple fell in love with Italy while traveling and planned to incorporate the theme into their special day. Instead of using traditional escort cards, Raquel and Jim had luggage tags made indicating where there guests would be jetting away to for the evening. Then, on their tables, they had black and white photographs of different cities in Italy. What a creative way to incorporate the theme!

The couple also chose a simple black and ivory color scheme and added a touch of sparkle to make their wedding day look nothing short of spectacular. The crystal chandeliers, crystal candelabra centerpieces, and ivory cake trimmed with rhinestones sparkled throughout the night in the Firenze Ballroom. Not to mention, the bridal party sparkled as well with the beautiful jewelry Raquel created for them and herself.

Raquel and Jim plan to return to Europe shortly after they are settled in as husband and wife. We wish them all the best in their travels and marriage!
